Ripples of Dream and Stone Throws of Reality

Ripples of Dream and Stone Throws of Reality

A Poem by Sweet & Tender Hooligan
"

If all is true are we the ripples or the stone?Time is not yours.Rain can't wash clean your brain.Young minds ain't as open as they may think they are.What is ours and can everything be taken?

"
If all is true are we the ripples or the stone?

You reached for heaven but you've only gotten closer to hell.

Be all you can be and be you, not me
Uprooted trees frightened of what they can't control.

You can take my soul and dreams but you can't take my spirit.

Don't be someone else, life lives around us, be who you are
Crossing hearts and stealing souls young minds ain't so open.

Bibles, manifestos and popular culture 
Dig deep into the skin of those who are impressionable.

Out of time you wipe the stars clear from the sky, cause you haven't your own dreams.

Shadows shading pathways out of life, everyone's prettier, better and smarter 
Trees covering the shades of dream, the clouds in the sky scratch my wrists.

Out of the darkness time is not yours alone, some of us don't belong in our own time.

The day pulls the tears out of those who cry themselves to sleep.
